Kolten Wong Designated For Assignment

Seattle Mariners executive vice president and general manager of baseball operations Justin Hollander announced on Tuesday that the team designated infielder Kolten Wong for assignment. The team also recalled right-hander Trent Thornton from Triple-A Tacoma and optioned right-hander Juan Then and outfielder Taylor Trammell to Tacoma. Wong just could never get going this year in […]

Jean Segura Traded To Guardians And Released

The Cleveland Guardians acquired infielder Jean Segura and infield prospect Kahlil Watson from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for first baseman Josh Bell, according to sources. Segura's stay in Cleveland didn't last long, though, as The Athletic's Zack Meisel reported the Guardians are releasing Segura. He's owed the rest of his salary this […]

Brendan Donovan To Have Season-Ending Surgery

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan (arm) will have season-ending surgery on Wednesday to fix a flexor strain in his right arm. The injury has been the reason why Donovan hasn't been able to play defense for the Cardinals since late June. As long as Donovan doesn't have any setbacks, he should be good to […]

Nolan Gorman Remains Out Against Twins

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman (back) remains out of Tuesday's starting lineup against the visiting Minnesota Twins. With Gorman still sidelined, Taylor Motter is getting the start at second base against Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez.

Tommy Edman Activated From Injured List

The St. Louis Cardinals activated infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and recalled right-hander Zack Thompson from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.

Diamondbacks Acquire Jace Peterson From A's

The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired infielder Jace Peterson and cash considerations from the Oakland Athletics on Monday in exchange for right-hander Chad Patrick. Peterson will fill more of a utility bench role for the contending Diamondbacks down the stretch, so he won't have much fantasy appeal outside of deeper leagues the rest of the way. The […]

Justin Turner Exits Early Monday

Boston Red Sox second/third baseman Justin Turner (unknown) exited Monday's 6-2 loss to the Mariners in the ninth inning after legging out an RBI infield single, per NESN's Tom Caron.

Anthony Prato Hitting Quite Well At Triple-A

Minnesota Twins minor league infielder Anthony Prato has always been a contact-first hitter, but he has shown some increased power this season, closing in on his career-high single-season home run total. What's interesting is that Prato opened the year with woeful batting numbers at Double-A but has been one of the best hitters in Minor […]

Ha-Seong Kim Back In The Padres Lineup

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting leadoff on Monday against Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber. Jake Cronenworth is at the keystone and hitting sixth, while Matthew Batten is at first base and batting eighth in the lineup. Kim returns to the lineup after leaving Sunday's […]
